Despite being a big sci-fan fan, I haven't made any Star Wars papercraft models yet! (of course I did build a few from other papercrafters, though ;o)
But that is going to change! I want to make a bigger papercraft model by hand again, and this time, I want to make one of those famous TIE-fighters!
There are already a lot of great looking papercraft TIE-fighters out there, but I really like the iconic shape and it'll be a lot of fun making one myself! ;o)
To get the "overall shape" right, I always look up as many pictures as I can find, but luckily, fans always make lots of schematics of sci-fi spacecrafts and sometimes there are even official ones!
By printing the schematics at the scale I want my paper model to be, I can use them for measurements and check very easily if the shape is still okay (just like I do with my Advance Wars units, only with more views ;o)
Stay tuned!
Excellent article on making the Tie Fighter. Im interested in scratch building some of the variants, so this article will be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can use some of it! There really is a lot of information online, but like with most sci-fi shows or series, it's not always consistent... ;o)
